I'd like to meet:

I didn't want to see people Hurting people But I refuse to close my eyes So in front of me I see ugly people Seething and believing ugly LiesAnd yes, of course, I'm Scared of being hurt And yes, of course, I'm Scared of being wrong But at the same time my silence Will convict me And the evil will carry on If I can do some good I want to do it If I have a choice I want to make it It's my human responsibility That life lives Selfishness gives And death becomes naturalSo you can stay cool behind Your window And choose the view You want to see But as long as there are Others held captive Do not consider Yourself free.
